Front Brake Rotors

rcsup1 · 01-10-2019, 08:52 PM

Hi All,

I currently shopping around for OEM front brake rotor. Can anyone tell me where I could find them for the best price? The cheapest I have found them for is $342 a piece from eeuroparts.

Thanks,

Roy

Cheap as oem comes. You can go aftermarket check out eBay.

Awesome thanks!

I order some ebay ones and the quality was horrible. One rotor had over 2mm diffrence in thickness from the front to back.

I am returning those and going with oem.

Curious which eBay ones did you have issues with. The ones we've picked up have been going good so far. Barely heavier than stock too.

Agreed which brand did you have trouble with as I am in the market as well.

As soon as I have secured my refund I will let you guys know. If you want to know sooner than that just PM me. I shipped them back yesterday so I’m hoping to have this resolved by next week.

Why won't you just post who you returned? You think they're trolling the forum to find you? Lol

They were brakenetic rotors.

Can you elaborate more about the details in thickness?

oem is best

DgjoX6M2016 · 02-08-2019, 03:19 PM

OEM only. They are designed for your car and it's dynamics! Why mess with anything that isn't?

rcsup1 · 02-08-2019, 03:33 PM

Have to agree!

Probably for the same reason anyone replaces parts on their car with things that are not oem. Oem doesn't "always" mean better.

DgjoX6M2016 · 02-09-2019, 01:50 PM

Disagree. Name one non-OEM part that is superior. Won't be able to.

yewlock · 02-09-2019, 05:42 PM

Example of OEM doesn't means better

OE brakes are great for these vehicles. on my X5M E70 I plan on going for F85 Rotors all around With Pagid pads....

DgjoX6M2016 · 02-10-2019, 07:55 AM

Respectfully...Not convinced!

. Maybe the mods and what not have impacted that particular vehicle. Or just a bad set of rotors. I have never had a warped rotor in any of my 5 BMWs. Had them all the time in my Cadillac Escalade (constant brake fade...even coming down speed bumps!!), and my Audi A4 brakes were weak.

But seriously, I would be interested in what part of your BMW would be better served with an aftermarket part? I struggle with that. Maybe that is worth a separate post.

Wait are you for real? Do you actually think everything BMW put on your vehicle is the best option in the market? Have you seen your brakes? Have you seen the rubber bushings bmw uses? Have you heard of Pure turbos? GT Haus? Dinan? Hell even bmw rebranded service fluids are hardly the "best".

No one is saying BMW produces shit components (unless you want to talk about the rubber and plastics bmw uses in its suspension and engine bays cuz yes its shit) but it's not the best which is why many aftermarket and third party manufactures exist.

Cmon man. A little less fanboy and a little more realism will go a long way.

rcsup1 · 02-11-2019, 12:29 PM

While there are certainly aftermarket items that are superior to OEM out there, my comment was only directed at this particular set of rotors.

Hello, all. First post here. Aren't Porsche ceramics made by Brembo? I looked but I couldn't see anything they would offer for an X5.
